Nuclear missile cruiser K-150 "Tomsk" project 949A "Antey" put on modernization
The nuclear submarine missile cruiser K-150 "Tomsk" of project 949A "Antey" was put for repair and modernization at one of the ship repair enterprises of the Far East. This was reported by a source familiar with the situation.
The fact that the Tomsk is undergoing repairs is not surprising, the submarine has been waiting for modernization for a long time. This news interesting in that the submarine was sent to a shipyard, although at the end of March of this year it was reported that Tomsk would restore technical readiness at a permanent base. It can also be concluded from this that in the near future the nuclear submarine missile cruiser "Irkutsk" of project 949A "Antey" will return to the combat strength of the Pacific Fleet, since the "Tomsk" was supposed to be repaired only after the completion of work on "Irkutsk".
